Front Vibrates Heavily After Fitting Spacers

So i just got 20mm specers all around and I noticed on the freeway at between 100-130+ kph the steering wheel would shake fairly strongly and I could feel the vibrations clearly from the front. I heard you could fit hub rings and that would help this problem, but when I rang the shop and ordered the spacers, they seemed to say (it was in japanese, so im not 100% sure) that as I have aftermarket rims I dont need it or they wouldnt fit, or something like that.

Can anyone clear this up?

What type of spacers are they hub centric? Few things you should try first the hub rings might help so there worth giving a set and always good to have a set on anyway, also when you tightened the spacers and rims did you do them in criss cross pattern sometimes when there not tightened like that it makes it slightly offcentre.

Do the rims have gaps for the studs that protrude from the spacers, not all rims will accept hud centric spacers, the rim may not be seated on the hub, remove a wheel and see if the studs are hitting the rear face of the wheel.

If they are hitting dont use them, your wheels can become lose and snap the studs, this will make your wheel fall off, this is bad !!!!!

It may be time to get some correct offset rims.

Or if you still have to use the spacers and the rims dont allow it youll have to grind down the studs on the hub by about 2-3mm if your using 20mm spacer so they are flush with the spacer, 25mm dont have that problem.

Im not sure what is hubcentric, so heres the link

spacers

and heres the hub rings

rings

the rims have indents for the wheels, and they seemed to fit on fine without touching

I also always tighten wheel nuts in a balanced fashion, so I would assume thats ok...

Yeah there hub centric ones. You have to make the hub rings you hsve are right for the rim and your hub. Most rims need a 73.1 od ring and nissan have 66.1 id hub ring so unless your rim has a 66.1 diameter youll need a ring to suit.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
